[committee] Tavern Hire & Catering

[Felix von Perger]

Hi Hayden,

I understand that you have been busy and that my original queries may 
not have been exactly straightforward to answer together in one go.

Since we are planning to hold the Anniversary Dinner for the University 
Computer Club in just over a month, I would quickly like to confirm 
whether or not it will be possible to book the Tavern for this event 
(Friday 5th October, 6pm - 10pm) so that we can continue the event 
planning and start advertising as soon as possible.

Furthermore, if you have time, would it be possible to get some 
information about catering options and pricing for the expected ~25 
attendees.

Best regards,

Felix von Perger
UCC Secretary
